However, she first gained fame in the nineties for becoming one of the nation's favourite Page Three girls – although it could have been oh so different.

The 34-year-old has revealed that she originally wanted to avoid stripping off for a modelling career, but was forced to go topless due to her curves being out of fashion.

In her new autobiography Close Up, which is being serialised in The Sun, Kelly said: "I decided to go into modelling, but the heroin chic thing was at its height — and I was short with a 30E chest and a curvy body.

"I was rejected over two months by every agency I visited before I went to Samantha Bond — agent to glamour girls and Page 3 girls."

But despite having a meeting with a glamour girl agent, Kelly was adamant that she wanted to stay fully clothed.

She continued: "I said I didn’t want to take my clothes off or do Page 3. They agreed to give me a test shoot.

"In those days I had the face of a schoolgirl with the body of a porn star, but no idea what I was doing."

Always the modest one, our Kelly.

However, she was soon shown the light by a female photographer who asked to see Kelly's ample assets in a toilet (ah, the glamorous world of modelling).
